Chapter 19: Really Brave
The young female boss in front of her really gave her hope.
If she could sell a large amount of food and supplies, they could hold out on the front line longer.
After all, during combat, not only strength is tested, but also material resources.
"Sanitary napkins? How many do you want?" Xia Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and vaguely saw the points waving at her.
Seeing this was possible, the woman's face flushed with excitement. She took two steps to the cashier and leaned forward slightly. "How many do you have? I need at least a hundred bags!"
Hearing this, Xia Yan looked her up and down, tapped the table lightly, and said calmly, "Do you have spatial abilities? Can you take so much away?"
The woman was stunned. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?! But then she thought, it would only take her a day or two to recover 80% of her strength, so she could rush back to the team with the space ability to get the supplies!
She forced herself to suppress her excitement and spoke again, "Don't worry about that, I'll find a way. Do you have anything else you can sell in bulk? Like boxed lunches, breakfast, or something like that!"
More important than sanitary napkins is food.
Her ultimate goal is also food.
She had made a special observation in the morning and found that there was no kitchen in the breakfast room. The plates were piled high with food, but there were only six customers in the hotel, so it was obvious that there was more food than people.
This shows that the female boss has no shortage of food!
If I could sell her half...
But Xia Yan shook his head and broke her fantasy.
"Why!!" The woman leaned forward in unbearable emotion, her eyes slightly red, her bony fingers clasped tightly on the table, each hand bone clearly visible, and blue-green blood vessels protruding high.
"Do you know that we are starving and fighting hard in the front? Zhan--the food you have can save our lives!"
The woman almost lost control of her emotions and blurted out the secret, but fortunately she changed her words in the end.
This is an order from above. Unless it is the last resort, it is strictly forbidden to spread the news privately and cause riots. Violators will be shot on the spot.
Xia Yan noticed the explosive point in her words. She lowered her eyes and tapped the table unconsciously with her fingers.
The next second, she was still smiling, her tone gentle, "Please don't worry, guests. According to regulations, food in the breakfast room cannot be sold, but the boxed meals in the hall can be taken away. Guests can purchase them if they need them."
The woman felt a stinging pain in her throat and glanced back at the machine, but she quickly suppressed her excitement.
“How many boxes can you buy at a time?”
Xia Yan crossed his fingers, straightened his back, and said seriously, "The limit is 20 boxes, but you can only buy 15 boxes."
Seeing the vein on the woman's forehead bulge again, Xia Yan spoke before she could say anything, "You have your own insistence, but I also have to consider my customers. Not only is the maximum order 15 boxes, but each box also costs an extra 5 points for takeout."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then walked over to the machine and touched the color picture with her fingers. After a while, she said in a hoarse voice, as if jokingly, "You're leaving such a precious thing right in front of everyone. Aren't you afraid it'll be stolen?"
Xia Yan didn't care at all. She ordered some octopus balls from the food court, and they appeared in her hands in an instant.
The woman's pupils shrank.
The freshly baked meatballs exuded an enticing aroma, and the thin bonito whiskers were curled up from being burned. Xia Yan picked up one, blew on it gently, and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an explosive taste.
She winked at the woman, and the corners of her mouth raised with a hint of malice.
"They don't dare."
The woman fell silent.
The only sound in the hall was Xia Yan's slow chewing.
At this time, footsteps were heard from deep in the corridor, and soon Jing Yimai appeared in front of the two.
Noticing the subtle atmosphere in the hall, he glanced at the two of them calmly, nodded slightly to Xia Yan, and planned to buy some laundry detergent and men's underwear.
Xia Yan was about to speak up to stop him when Li Ru ran out from the corridor and shouted, "Brother, don't touch it! There's electricity!"
Jing Yimai quickly withdrew his hand.
It was this person named Li Ru who knocked on his door just now and told him that there was a washing machine on the first floor and they also sold underwear.
He saw through Li Ru's thoughts about him at a glance and sneered.
The toad wants to eat the swan's flesh.
Li Ru rushed to his side, raised her clean little face, tried her best to look worried, her eyes full of admiration and concern.
She pulled up Jing Yimai's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Brother, are you okay? How do you do business as a shopkeeper? You don't even warn your customers! Survival in the apocalypse is already difficult. Are you afraid of being robbed by discharging electricity?!"
Li Ru had already thought about what to say on the way here.
Even though her face looked clean, her skin was much rougher than before and was in no way comparable to that of the female boss!
She had to show the owner's viciousness to highlight her kindness and gentleness!
Li Ru looked at Xia Yan with secret pride, wanting to see how she would handle it. It would be best if she was like the previous salesperson!
Have you ever seen the aura of a young lady? Today, I'll show you!
But what was she holding? Takoyaki?
Needless to say, Xia Yan was really shocked by Li Ru's words.
Such a silly thing actually happened to her?!
She sneered and angrily retorted, "Is your brain full of shit? Doomsday hasn't taught you how to speak in all these years? You can't even eat, and you're still thinking about participating in a female competition? You eat my food, drink my drinks, and live my house, and you still dare to speak rudely to me?!"
"Xiongxiong, ask the customer in 202 to come down!"
Xiong Xiong, who was standing aside, took a step forward.
Li Ru panicked and hurriedly grabbed Xiong Xiong, "Don't go! Don't call me sister! If you have anything to say, come to me! Why are you calling me sister and brother-in-law?"
She was completely panicked. Why didn't this female boss follow the routine? She couldn't leave them for the time being! She hadn't even hooked up with the person next to her yet!
Li Ru's face was pale as a sheet of paper, and she grabbed the corner of Jing Yimai's clothes again. "Brother, look at this boss. I didn't say anything, but she actually told her parents!"
Jing Yimai pulled his sleeve back in disgust and looked at her as if she were a fool.
You offend someone you shouldn't offend and still want to drag him into trouble?
"Boss, I don't know her." Jing Yimai felt that he had to explain so as not to be "accidentally killed" by the boss.
Xia Yan nodded to indicate that he understood.
"You! How could you do this! I'm speaking up for you, and you actually..." Li Ru looked embarrassed and almost cried, "Which base doesn't put people first these days? Boss, what you're doing is wrong. This is tyrannical behavior and must be shut down."
Xia Yan discovered that this person was Zhen Yong, who angered her again and again.
"Oh, shut your mouth!"
A transparent cube immediately appeared beside Li Ru, wrapping her tightly inside.
This is?
Jing Yimai seemed to be lost in thought.
Li Ru felt that she could not move her body and it was very difficult to breathe, so she knew that her boss had used his supernatural power on her.
She is just an ordinary person, how can she bear it?
Li Ru's face became redder and redder, the blood vessels in his neck gradually bulged, and his expression became more and more ferocious.
Is she... is she dying...?
Sister...save me...
Just as her head began to buzz and her vision became increasingly blurry, a familiar figure pounced in front of her.
elder sister...
"Boss, my sister is still young and doesn't understand. What she said was unintentional! I kneel down in front of you and beg you to spare her!"
